9 Reasons You Should Get A Hair Gloss Treatment

1. A gloss will repair any summer damage you have. Spent a little too much time in the sun and chlorine this summer? you should get a gloss. It actually repairs your hair and undo all that damage, so you'll feel a lot better. The gloss will return texture and deep condition your strands for ultimate silkiness and shine.
2. It's not as harsh or permanent as regular hair color.  A gloss is very acidic and closes the hair and the cuticle real tight. The result is a very smooth surface texture that will reflect a lot more light and have a much softer feel to it.  On the other hand, regular color contains ammonia, which opens up the hair cuticle and deposits color into it, therefore damaging the hair.
3. A gloss provides translucent color and intense conditioning. A gloss will work with the

variation of tone that you hair naturally has, allowing for a more subdued shade. If you have gray hair and if you put a gloss on, it will have a very tonal effect as opposed to being one solid opaque color,  It also automatically makes your hair super shiny and smooth. It will even reduce a little bit of frizz, and overall, your hair feels like you had a conditioning treatment and color done at once,
4. It can help tone down highlights If your highlights end up looking a little too brassy,  we recommend getting a gloss treatment right after to tone down the color. After every color in my salon, I finish the treatment with a gloss to lock the color in and to make sure that the tone is the exact shade that I want it to be.
5. You don't have to change your natural hair color to get the benefits of a gloss. There's such thing as a clear gloss, which is essentially a powerhouse of a conditioning treatment for your strands. All you'd be doing is lowering the pH level of your hair and imparting extreme conditioning properties.
6. It's a no-commitment change.  The best thing about it is there's no commitment to it and it's going to fade on its own (within six weeks). And if you want to change your hair, it doesn't interfere with any type of chemical change you want to do in the future.

Chlorine Water and Hair Care

Chlorine water is bad enough for all hair types, especially blonde hair. The chlorinated water in pools can turn blonde-colored hair greenish - not a pretty sight to say the least. So what can you do to swim carefree?


• Purchase products that protect your hair from chlorine before heading out to the pool, wet hair under the shower and coat with a special leave-in UV conditioner. This acts as a barrier against both chlorine and the sun's harsh rays.

• Be sure to rinse hair out in clean water immediately after swimming.

• Use a shampoo especially formulated to remove chlorine from your hair such as Matrix Essentials Alternate Action Shampoo. This will work to take the chlorine out as well as prevent it from turning green.



The summer months are supposed to be full of summer parties by the pool; instead of donning that silly bathing cap, try protecting your hair and treating your hair before and after the swim. These tips will help to keep your hair beautiful and shiny all summer long no matter how many hours you spend in the chlorine.
